REMARKS
Risbec described this species based on
three females
:one reared from an
Apanteles
Förster, 1862
cocoon (
Hymenoptera
,
Braconidae
), one collected from salad leafs, and one he obtained from eggs of
Charaxes epijasius
Reiche, 1850
(
Lepidoptera
,
Nymphalidae
). The specimen on slide MNHN.14.18, collected on salad, was remounted and labeled by LF, and is here designated as
lectotype
. It is uncontorted, with the right fore leg missing and the left eye collapsed. Labels on slides ORSTOM.2.7 and MNHN.4.60 differ from those given in the original description and thus specimens on these slides are not designated as
paralectotypes
.
